Presentation Title September 9, 2018 National Defense Industrial Association Interoperability and Systems Engineering Conference 23 – 25 March 2004 Denver, Colorado Interoperability in Net Centric Operations (NCO) Brian M. McKeon Vice President, Command & Control Systems Network Centric Systems, Raytheon Speaker Name

Introduction – Three NCO Interoperability Challenges Presentation Title September 9, 2018 Introduction – Three NCO Interoperability Challenges Systems of systems development Increasingly complex Joint/Coalition/Civil battlespace Expanding number of “netted” systems on an unprecedented scale Multiple architectures Scaling Capabilities-based development Systems engineering and requirements flow-down Distributed development Modeling & simulation Testing & fielding Acquisition challenges Co-evolution & convergence Current system assimilation Asynchronous programmatics Budget pressure Speaker Name

Systems-of-Systems Development Presentation Title September 9, 2018 Systems-of-Systems Development Complexity of NCO operations Joint/Coalition/Civil collaboration Exponential growth in sensors and systems Effects-based capabilities Complex resource allocation Compliance with joint capabilities process Decompose capabilities into system requirements and design Account for unexpected behavior Testing complexity Architecture Multiple architecture frameworks Assimilation of current systems Data and information standardization and security Incompatible systems tools Sensor Pltfm Effectors C2 Comms Sensors Effectors Platforms C2 Commo Plane Ship Tank Individual Plane Ship Tank Individual NCO end-state is interoperability dependent Speaker Name

Capabilities-Based Development Presentation Title September 9, 2018 Capabilities-Based Development Tools for specifying SoS NCO architectures M&S for improved understanding and acquisition (JVB/JSB) Defining and measuring performance Isolate problems in the earliest spirals Develop test environments that reflect real world complexity (JDEP) Experimentation and accepted CONOPS refinement (e.g.Joint National Training Center [JNTC]) End-to-end training and sustainment Performance insight, early problem discovery, rapid feedback Speaker Name

Acquisition Challenges Presentation Title September 9, 2018 Acquisition Challenges Co-evolution and convergence Programmatic modularity and loose coupling Configuration management Measuring performance is the issue (capabilities-based) Backward/forward compatibility Compliance to NCO (enhance or retire) Longer current system life-cycles Test and evaluation in NCO environment Deconfliction of industry and Government assets Experimentation, lessons learned, M&S Anticipate unpredictability Business model Budget pressures Deliver interoperable warfighting capabilities in an uncertain environment Speaker Name

Presentation Title September 9, 2018 Summary Timely, synchronized development and acquisition - supporting capabilities-based interoperable solutions Architecture standards, CONOPS experimentation, distributed testing/M&S, spiral feedback, configuration management - keys to managing risk and anticipating uncertainty Flexible adaptation and innovation (operational and development) of fielded capabilities - accommodating budget realities and technological evolution Speaker Name
